"Questioning Muslims is a welcome thing. After all it is in reasoned response that people will learn more about Islam. Yet questioning with a view to engineer political leverage is a totally different ball game. A game at which there are few better players than Jack Straw.
"Having recently been to Blackburn, Jack Straw's constituency for 25 years, it was staggering to see the level of segregation in the city. With schools made up of entirely white or Asian students and the intense feeling of a severe racial divide in the city one can only wonder where Jack Straw has been all these years. Worse still, having suddenly woken up to the situation his solution is simply the idiot's guide to solving the problem: tear off the veil."
